I’ll second this through experience. A lot of incompetent female cops. Half are hostile lesbians.

😂😂😂 A lot of future crimes and human pain and suffering were indeed prevented by whacking this thug.

I, for one, am thankful that none of my family were killed by Wright, after making good his escape by violence from lawful custody.

Nor will they ever be.

I have Potter to thank for that.

Good Lord, I agree with you, though I would conserve ammo a little more.

...

And yes, I am good enough to do that.

Agreed. Potter may have been an incompetent cop, but at least she took out some trash.

If they were for rehabilitation, they would be called “Rehabilitation Centers” instead of Prisons. Prisons are for executing the sentences of Judges/Jurys according to enacted LAW. The author can whine and excuse and misdirect all he wants with other situations but the law was pretty clear here...

Celebrate? No. I also don’t celebrate water being wet.
Someone did something wrong and they were convicted and sentenced.

A policeman is not the same as a surgeon, a doctor, or whatever other kind of conflation people want to throw at it.

There is a large difference between “Oh crap, my scalpel nicked an artery while I’m doing this extremely dangerous procedure in a wet, slippery, cramped environment that moves, while trying to save this persons life.” and “I grabbed the kill stick instead of the zap stick while trying to get someone out of a car.”

Her crime? Being WHITE while conducting police work.

Excellent points, also Potter arrived as backup and had been advised of accurate Law Enforcement sourced background information on the perp's violent felony record.

He was no innocent civilian mistakenly detained.

Daunte Wright was a multiple felon who violently resisted arrest and then reached into his car. Prior to tasers, this would have justified deadly force in any jurisdiction of the USA.

I also have concerns about female LEOs. But this doesn’t take away from the fact that Daunte Wright himself is BY FAR the most responsible for his own death. Kim Potter never should even have been charged, must less convicted.

100% true. Wright was a scumbag who should have been behind bars or in juvie. But of course the media showed us loving family pics as with Trayvon and "Gentle Giant" Mike Brown. But Potter is really a pathetic mess and had no business being in uniform.

There was a notorious killing of a mentally ill homeless dude with a pen knife vs. like 12 cops 40 feet away. The supervisor was a female retard and she started shooting and everyone joined in of course. I think the dude was hit 37 times or so.

The NYPD supervisor who ordered the choke hold (death) of Eric Garner (for selling cigarettes on the street) was a female. This was hidden by the media, along with the fact she was black (and a moron).

Mistake? Sure. But that in no way alters responsibility or accountability for the consequences of a mistake. Rather amazing that this is even being debated.

This doesn’t excuse every negligible homicide, but it does provide grace to human beings and the human factor.

I like it. Sums up Daunte’s death quite nicely.

Providing actual Street Justice often comes with a significant price.

A POS perp is dead and an idiot is in prison where she can’t do harm to an innocent person. Looks like a win-win to me.

Don’t give the progressives any more ideas.

At the end of the day only one thing matters, regardless of what montag813 wants to say. On a side note, any time he/she/it wants to attend some scenario based training or take a job with the local PD/Sheriff’s office, that call all be arranged so he/she/it can show the world how it’s done.

That being said, only one thing matters.....

Kim Potter...white female of diminutive size...Potter was a25yr vetern, field training officer with no disciplinary issues....was struggling with a wanted felon who was fighting with police in an attempt to evade arrest....a convicted felon....a BLACK MAN....who, if he had been able to get control of that vehicle, would have stopped at nothing in his attempt to get away, even if that meant running innocent people over or destroying property.....Potter mistakenly grabbed the wrong piece of issued equipment and ended the situation....she’s now looking at 25 years in prison

Lt Michael Byrd....a seemingly large BLACK MALE...with numerous disciplinary issues....shot and killed a 5’-nothing WHITE female....Veteran.....unarmed....doing nothing more than climbing through a window.....she was not fighting with Lt Michael Byrd....Lt Michael Byrd is being held up as a hero....Lt Michael Byrd is considered a hero by Congress and its staff.


“I have heard from multiple people that Lt. Michael Byrd shot Ashli Babbitt. It is common knowledge on Capitol Hill,” a senior GOP aide told the Washington Examiner. “Like all of the USCP Officers, Lt. Byrd is an everyday hero, and we are tremendously grateful for his service. He made a tough call on Jan. 6 while he was doing his job, protecting the Capitol from violent rioters who had no business being there.”

Republican Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said he spoke with Byrd after Babbitt was shot during the Capitol riot, and the officer was “distraught” afterward. “I guarantee you he’s never had to pull his weapon in a manner like that before,” Mullin said in July. “He’s the last person in the world to ever want to use force like that.”

However, what’s really egregious is that Rep. Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, recently spoke with CSPAN stating that he gave Byrd a hug after murdering Babbitt in cold blood.
This man witnessed Babbitt’s death and then hugged the murderer, and comforted him by saying that he “did what he had to do.”

.@RepMullin on police officer who fatally shot woman in Capitol on January 6th: “After it happened, he came over. He was physically and emotionally distraught. I actually gave him a hug and I said, ‘sir, you did what you had to do.’” pic.twitter.com/qSwZgilMS7

Justice!!!!!

The premise that accidents are not considered crimes is a canard
